My fiance and I were a bit hesitant to book a moving service but we lived on the third floor of our apartment and when we saw the rates for Mike's Moving we decided to give it a try. We'd only pay a little more for movers than a Uhaul and we'd save time and energy! The movers were fantastic-very professional, broke everything down and handled everything with great care. They really worked hard especially moving our things down three flights of stairs! The movers were friendly, pleasant and got the job done very quick. They moved our 2 bedroom apartment 20-30 minutes away into a house and got the job done in less than 2.5 hours. We were downright amazed! I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat.
My only concern was that while Mike's Moving was fantastic booking me just a few days in advance because we were moving a bit last minute, we didn't know what time to expect them as they said 'afternoon' and would not give me a better time frame. However, this may be because we booked only days in advance and the job before us may have been unclear. The movers were very nice to give us a call 45 minutes ahead of time-they were quite early! Mike had told us afternoon and the movers arrive minutes after 12:00-we were a bit rushed at the end! However, it is better to be early in my opinion, my only piece of advice is to try to give a better time frame but again this may have been due to our last minute move.
Overall, a great bunch of guys, and as someone who has never hired movers before that was very nervous to do so, I can say with confidence I would not at all hesitate to call these movers again.

I would highly recommend Jeff and Richard to anyone needing their services. They were a pleasure to have around and kept the atmosphere upbeat and fun. The moving experience turned out to be a joy. My furniture was carefully wrapped, nothing was damaged, and they even gave suggestions as to where to place items when I couldn't decide -- and their suggestions turned out to be perfect! No time was wasted and the move was completed in record time. I give these movers a 10 out of 10!

I have never written a review before, however these guys - hands down - deserve one. From start to finish the experience was smooth and helped make my move as seamless as possible. The women who booked my move was very nice and efficient. They were also very flexible as far as scheduling. I went with a different apartment complex at the last minute and they gave me no hassle to make the appropriate changes. The day of the move I got a phone call about an hour before my scheduled appointment from a very pleasant gentlemen letting me know they were on there way and how far out they were. When they arrived they were very respectful and all around polite and genuinely nice guys. The movers were SOOO fast. They arrived at 12:45 and the truck was all packed and ready to go to the new place at 1:10. To give you an idea I did not have sofas and it was a 1 bedroom apartment move but I had a 7 large heavy boxes, dining room set, 3 breakfast bar stools, bed, frame, dresser, large mirror...a good amount of stuff that would of took my boyfriend and I a couple of hours to pack up in a truck. The same was true with unloading the truck super quick. I didn't even use the minimum 2 hours that I booked. ****Most importantly the price you can not beat, two men and a truck and other quotes I got from local movers were just not reasonable for me. THANK YOU DYNAMIC MOVING SOLUTIONS!

Our piano move from Orlando to Jacksonville, FL went seamlessly thanks to the professional movers of Headway. The guys new exactly what they were doing to maintain the great condition of our piano. From pickup to delivery, 4 hours. Upon arrival, it didn't even need tuned! Can't ask for better service than that. Thank you, David and crew!

I had a really old rusted broken down riding lawn mover taking up space on my patio slab. Matt got that thing out of my backyard in no time. He responded quickly once I contacted him. I will contact Executive Landscaping again.

A-1 Professional Movers were a godsend. They were not only professional and thorough in their walk through but went above and beyond. The quote we received was excellent (Florida to Washington State). On moving day they were scheduled to show up at 8:00 am and they were there at 8:00 on the dot. The crew of 3 were very professional and courteous. They made sure to check before taking items to the truck in case it was something that we didn't want to take which we really appreciated. We had already packed our things but they will pack your things for you if you need that service. Because we were catching a flight I did not have time to thoroughly clean...but not to worry....A-1 can set this up as well!! They arranged for the final cleaning as well as power washing of our pool deck and cage. We are selling the house so this was very important. The price was great and the house is sparkling...and they also installed a new garbage disposal we had not been able to get installed before we left...without even being asked! How many companies would do that? We would recommend A-1 Professional movers 1000%!! They are professional, trustworthy and very fair with their pricing. Moving is stressful enough and with A-1 they take a lot of the stress off your shoulders! Thanks A-1!!

Our move with CheckMate movers was a good one. Ryan was very professional. We had furniture moved from one house to another about 2 blocks away. Then had furniture from new house moved to old home. There were a couple of small hiccups during the move but Ryan was very understanding and worked with us on a solution. I would recommend the company to others without a doubt.

I was in need of a mover with a very short notice. These guys scheduled me in the very next day. I required a pick up at two locations and it was no problem with no extra charge. Note that the first pick was minor. They were on time and prepared to work the hours needed for my 200+ mile move. I had some abnormally heavy items and they viewed it as it was all in a days work. The price was very competitive and they should be first on your list to call. Thanks guys for such relief in a very stressful time.

I required movers to enable my shift from Orlando to Ocala. This was the first time that I was moving and hence was skeptical about the experience.
I must say that the movers from Happy Moving did a top-notch job. We had taken care of the packing and rented a uhaul truck. The movers, Mattew and Rico, were right on time and started accessing the job. After loading they drove our truck to Ocala and unloaded our stuff.
There was no damage to any of our things and they were extremely professional the entire day. We were already stressed out with the move and the last thing that we would have wanted was the movers not agreeing or creating a fuss with regard to any of our wishes. There were a couple of times we had to change our mind about the placement of our furniture in the new house and they didn't mind or show any grimace at all.
It was also very economical. They advertise at $65 an hour and that is exactly what they charge us. No hidden or implicit fees.
So A+ to the two movers.
One negative was the communication gap between the supervisors and the movers. During the fixing process, we were told that the movers would get a dozen blankets and I had mentioned that the movers would need to drive my rental truck to Ocala.
But when the movers showed up, they neither had the blankets nor had any idea that they had to drive the truck to Ocala.
I had expected more professionalism and better,lucid communication between the managers and the movers. This was definitely lacking. I hope they improve this in the future for their own good as they have great potential.
The great service by the movers outshined the comm mixup.

I was extremely pleased with Edgar Rollock's service. He and his helpers (Edwin and John) were respectful and hard working. Edgar kept in touch before and after the job was completed. I would reccommend him with no hesitation.

I was fortunate enough to find KnightSpeed Moving on Thumbtack. I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of this operation. From reservation process through the moving process, the team did a fantastic job. The movers were on time (called when they were on their way), handled all of my furniture with exceptional care, and were very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely use them again.

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do moving companies do?

Moving companies provide a range of services to help you physically move out of one residence and move into a new place. But moving companies can do so much more than just haul your belongings across town in a truck. The national average for moving company prices ($250-$350 per hour) reflects the range of services provided. Here are examples of all the ways moving companies can help:

Packing: Moving companies can pack your belongings for you. They typically charge a flat rate for both the box and the labor to pack the box. The more time-consuming the belongings are to pack, the higher the cost per box. For example, books could be $5 per box, linens $10 per box, and fine china and glassware $18 per box.

Specialty moving: Safely move a baby grand piano, a oversize aquarium, or other specialty items with the help of pro movers.

Storage: Many moving companies can store your belongings while you wait for a new home to be remodeled or closing of your new home to be finalized. If you’re moving long-distance, they often provide short-term storage free for a specific length of time, and a set rate after that (such as $60 per square cubic foot of storage space used).

Long-distance moves: No need to rent a trailer and move your things; a long-distance moving company can haul your belongings across the country for you. Typically they charge by the cubic foot for moves, with prices based on your destination.

Unpacking: Moving companies can even unpack your belongings for you after they have moved them. This is not as common, and will definitely increase the price, but can be helpful if you’re not able to tackle this task yourself.

How much does a moving company charge per hour?

When you’re ready to make a major move, it’s time to research moving companies’ prices. A moving company may charge on average anywhere between $25 and $100 per hour, per worker, for moving services. The price will vary with regional labor rates, local cost to do business, and the level of service the movers are providing. Nationally, the average hourly rate for a moving company is $250-$350 per hour. This price includes a range of pricing, from all-in service with four or more movers on site to standard hourly rates for one or two movers. Other factors that affect moving companies’ prices are packing, stairs (or elevators), and distance. For a full-service move, you pay movers to pack your belongings for you. You may pay for the cost of the moving boxes and an hourly rate per worker, and there may be additional charges for packing fragile items. Stairs will also add to your moving prices. Lifting and carrying boxes and furniture up and down stairs takes more time and creates more physical labor for the workers. Moving companies may charge flat rates for flights of stairs, such as $50-$70 per flight. A moving company may also charge a one-time fee for moving things via elevator, such as $75-$100. If parking is not accessible in front of your home or apartment building, there may also be an additional fee for the added distance to carry your belongings to the truck.
